Firecrackers should be set off during the New Year, which is also a rule handed down from ancient times, and the royal family also wants to eat other people's fireworks, which also retains this tradition.

However, unlike the people, the folk have a fixed date for setting off firecrackers: once in Laba, once in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, once on the first day of the first lunar month, and again on the fifth day of the first month, and once after breaking the fifth day, and there is no fixed date for setting off firecrackers in the palace at all, starting from the 24th of the month until October 17, firecrackers are set off in the palace every day, during the day and fireworks at night.

However, there is a fixed place for setting off firecrackers and fireworks in the palace, that is, the square in front of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

There are such regulations in the palace, one is afraid that the sound of firecrackers will frighten the pregnant concubines, and the Qianqing Palace is the emperor's main hall for handling government affairs, which is far away from the harem. On the other hand, it is afraid that the water in the palace will burn down the palace and cause serious accidents, so it is only concentrated in one place to facilitate care and prevention.

Three days after the emperor said, it was already the fifth day, and early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers in the Qianqing Palace was deafening, and the scale of the fireworks that night would be second only to the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the 15th of the first month.

On this day, it is still a day for the emperor to have fun with the officials, and as for the concubines, they have to wait until the fifteenth day of the first month to gather in the Qianqing Palace to enjoy the fireworks.

Ye Xiaotian entered the palace for the second time during the New Year, so he didn't have to be as formal as the last time, so he put on his sea dragon silver needle again.

Other ministers and even the emperor's relatives have fixed income, and their family property may not be meager, but they always have to have scruples in front of the emperor, so they dress not shabby, but they are not luxurious, like Ye Xiaotian, who is so extravagant and extravagant, it is the only scorpion.

However, Ye Xiaotian entered Beijing this time, and positioned himself as a "local tyrant", and he was a very local tyrant, and this kind of dress was in line with his identity.

Entering the palace this time, Ye Xiaotian thought that he would attract more contempt because of his dress, and even those civil officials who were still unsatisfied would attack him as soon as they met. Therefore, he and Li Qiuchi also simulated a scene of being besieged in advance, made full preparations, and were full of fighting spirit to offend the civil officials again.

But when he arrived at the palace, he found that there were many imperial relatives, meritorious heroes, and even military generals and foreign guests, but there were very few civil officials, except for a few scholars, there were only three or two kittens, and there was no scene where a group of mad dogs swarmed him as soon as he expected.

In the harem, Concubine Shu waited for the young emperor to wear a robe, accompanied by the eunuch kneeling on the ground to arrange his robe, and said softly: "Emperor, Zheng Shangshu just sent someone to send news to the palace, saying that he had a bad stomach and could not enter the palace to watch the fireworks, and he complained to the emperor!" ”

Wanli stood there with his arms outstretched, sneering slightly: "Oh? Eat a bad stomach, hehe, this is the first minister who can't come to watch the fireworks because he is unwell? ”

The eunuch showed a slightly embarrassed look, and replied in a low voice: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid don't remember clearly, as if they ...... It seems to be ...... The ninth, right? ”

Wanli snorted and said, "Slippery head!" This is the twenty-ninth! ”

The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "The slave and maid are guilty, and the slave and maid are not good at learning arithmetic......

Emperor Wanli smiled, raised his foot slightly, and kicked it slightly, and when the eunuch rolled over, he rolled around like a cat, making Concubine Shu smile.

Wanli snorted coldly: "You old thing, you know it in your heart, don't pretend to be garlic with me." Hmph, this group of civil officials and I really hate each other! They didn't come, this is to protest against my kindness to Ye Muchen, let them go, in the court, I'm fed up with their anger! Sometimes I have to compromise with them in state affairs, but now this is my private matter, and they have to tell me to do what they want! Do you still treat me like a child? Love comes or not, let it be! ”

Wanli said, the robe has been tidied up, Wanli flicked his sleeves, walked out, and leisurely ordered: "Let's go!" Without the noisy crows of the hateful faces that come to my ears all the time, I will live faster! ”

The eunuch, who was still lying on his side on the ground and pretending to be a lazy cat, hurriedly got up and chased after him. He is most familiar with the temperament of the emperor he is waiting for, what the ministers want him to do, he is not so dry, and he is born with a donkey temper.

However, the emperor can still distinguish the priorities, and he will not disagree with the ministers everywhere in state affairs, and if he is dissatisfied, he often uses other means that do not affect the overall situation to vent, this emperor understands it in his heart.

This time I didn't go to the opera garden to listen to the play, the location was set in the Qianqing Palace, so the invited civil and military officials, imperial relatives and even foreign guest envoys all had a fixed position, Ye Xiaotian was led to his position, he didn't move the nest, anyway, he didn't know anyone, and the emperor who was high up was "alone".

After the emperor arrived, several fire plays and juggling were staged in front of the main hall, but no one in the palace watched. Juggling just created a lively atmosphere, and the reason why the fireworks were not set off directly was because it was still early and the effect could not be seen. Second, because fireworks are the main event, after they are finished directly, everyone should pack up and leave the palace, and there will inevitably be a feeling of thunder and rain.

After a few juggling performances here, the little eunuchs in the imperial dining room brought up bowls of steaming supper with trays. There is no feast prepared for everyone in the palace today, and the ministers are not bad for that meal, they all come when they are full at home, but after all, it is the New Year's Festival, and the fireworks are relatively late, so the supper still has to be prepared.

Ye Xiaotian heard an official in the seat next to him laugh and said, "Your Majesty has given dumplings, I don't know if there is a brand inside." I heard that dumplings are made in the palace of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is a sign inside, and the ladies have the good luck to eat a golden Buddha. ”

An official in a farther position sneered, "Don't think about good things." Even if there is a brand in the dumplings, I am afraid that the color head is not big, you don't know how stingy our emperor is, the girls eat dumplings and get a big color head, that is because what treasures they get are royal, and they can't get out of the palace anyway. The emperor is willing to give us a baby? ”

The two officials laughed and teased, Ye Xiaotian thought to himself: "Except for a few scholars who have to come, the other civil officials obviously don't come to watch the fireworks and gamble with the emperor, and those who can come can be regarded as leaning towards the emperor's side, and they are still so ridiculous, it seems that the relationship between the ministers and this emperor is really twisted." ”

He didn't care what treasures were in the dumplings, he made dumplings at home, and there were also things to be put in them, usually a copper coin, who ate it, it means who has good luck.

I remember the year he left the capital, when he was in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he ate two dumplings with copper coins, and he didn't pay attention to the first one, and almost jumped off his big teeth when he bit it, and I don't know if his later adventures have been a sign since then.

However, the casual ridicule of the officials next to him made him read very valuable information from it, and the relationship between the emperor and the ministers, if he could accurately grasp it, would be very helpful to him. Sometimes this is how valuable information is obtained bit by bit.

A small red lacquered bowl was sent to Ye Xiaotian, steaming, Ye Xiaotian looked down, five dumplings. Ye Xiaotian also wanted to taste the taste of the dumplings in this palace, so he picked one up and ate it carefully.

The dumplings are vegetarian filling, made of chopped mushrooms and other vegetables, and the taste is not bad, but just like the court music, it pays attention to a neutral and peaceful, not fatty, not greasy, not salty, not light, not unpalatable but not how delicious it is.

"Click", when he ate the third dumpling, Ye Xiaotian took a bite lightly, and was caught in it, although he did not have hope for the reward of this stingy man, Ye Xiaotian was still a little excited, and hurriedly took the dumplings away, and saw that a corner of the small bamboo card was exposed inside, and what was engraved on the bamboo card could not be seen clearly.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly took out the small bamboo card from the dumplings, took a closer look through the light, and saw two words written on it: "Chopsticks!" ”

Ye Xiaotian was disappointed, but thinking about it, even if he took a fart back, as long as it was released by the emperor, his father and mother would be happy for a long time, so he beckoned to a little eunuch not far away, and when the little eunuch approached, Ye Xiaotian handed over the sign and said, "There is Lao Gonggong, I won the lottery!" ”

The little eunuch took the sign and looked at it, and then asked in a low voice, "Who is this lord?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Tongren Mansion Governor, Ye Xiao...... Oh, Ye Muchen! ”

The little eunuch straightened up and sang loudly, "Congratulations! Ye Muchen, the official of Tongren Mansion, won the jackpot and was given a pair of chopsticks! ”

The civil officials on both sides were still staring at Ye Xiaotian with some red eyes, but when they heard that it was a pair of chopsticks, they sneered, and one of them teased: "If you take it back, you have to get Zhang Xiang's case to confess, and I don't know if this pair of chopsticks is worth the three pillars of incense that day!" ”

Ye Xiaotian replied with a smile: "Don't bother with it, my family has money, even if I light two ever-bright lamps, I can afford to burn oil." The official rolled his eyes at him and turned his head away with a cold snort.

Starting from Ye Xiaotian, there were little eunuchs singing "Caitou" one after another, and I saw Wanli Tianzi smiling and eating the dumplings on his plate, and the chopsticks, plates, bowls, vinegar dishes, and hand towels were wiped clean by the little eunuchs and sent to the winning officials one by one.

Ye Xiaotian held the pair of chopsticks that still had the residual warmth in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and looked at the throne with infinite emotion, as if he saw that the fat Fuwa of their family was sitting on it and looking around, looking at it with a cute look. The New Year, this kind of reward ......, it turns out that this son of heaven is a Pixiu, only eat and don't vomit!

After eating the dumplings, as soon as the cups and plates were withdrawn, the Son of Wanli said with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing, go to the Danqi with me and enjoy the fireworks together!" ”

All the ministers, relatives, foreign guests, etc. stood up one after another, and the eunuchs surrounded the Son of Heaven in front, and all the dignitaries followed behind, and walked towards the Danqi outside the hall together.

Xu Boyi, who was hiding behind the Panlong Pillar, quietly poked his head out, and gave Uncle Li Guo, who was accompanying Emperor Wanli, and nodded his head slightly, Uncle Li Guo saw it, and the corners of his lips couldn't help showing a cold smile, he knew that the big thing was done!
